Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Born to Lose
Distorted guitars, industrial double-kick pedal beats and theatrical backing vocals continue to push this shoegaze outfit into the realms of Marilyn Manson-style glam metal.
Ital
Floridian Void
This is trippy, psychedelic electro at its gloomiest.
Hectic Zeniths
I Might Drown
This slice of wildly dramatic piano pop was a highlight from Music Liberation's 2011 review recap.
A$AP Rocky
Pretty Flacko
On this track, A$AP follows the hip-hop tradition of creating an alter ego to exorcise the darker side.
The Minutes
Black Keys
The Dublin three-piece mix early Supergrass' pop-punk with the explosive riffs of QotSA and Black Sabbath.
Sbtrkt
Ride to Freedom
Analogue synths dominate on this forthcoming b-side.
